Motoring: Quality is Job One
Ford has recalled (voluntarily, as all potentially disastrous recalls are in corporate-friendly America) over one million SUVs for two problems which appear to be incredibly dangerous. One involves speed control that won't shut off, which presumably means that the cruise control keeps working to keep the car moving at, say, 65 MPH while you're pressing the brake. The other problem is described in this scary yet glib little paragraph:
Yeah, that's right, the driver's seat could recline unexpectedly. That's pretty much assured death if the car is in motion, right? Why isn't this something of a scandal. We're talking about a million vehicles here. Does anybody care?

The other recall involves about 1.6 million 1998 through 2001 model year Explorers and Mountaineers, and 2001-2002 Explorer Sports and Sport Tracs with high-back seats. Ford said it is possible for a bolt on the driver's seat to fracture, causing the seat to recline unexpectedly.
